Trying to time by star gold for Europe next summer so hopefully they will extend offer.
I am looking at something similar, but from reading this thread I believe if you go through AC/Aeroplan (and keep the card open and pay annual fee again next year) you get 50K/*G status to the end of the calendar year in which your status expires - so should be end of 2025?Trying to time by star gold for Europe next summer so hopefully they will extend offer.
Putting your status with Aeroplan (AC) will give you the 50k points. That’s worth $1000 in terms of buying points, and much more in terms of a redemption.Received my CC today. So far, my travel plans for the next year are:
Mel - Europe on SQ J.
Europe - Mel on Qatar and QF.
Intra-Europe - a couple flights economy on Swiss and Austrian.
May do a flight to Singapore/SE Asia and within Australia on Virgin in the next 12 months.
Would you put status with AC, KF or other?
Many thanks.

Crediting your points from flying is another matter… you can choose the program you want at the time. If you are close to an award on SQ because you already have a stash of points in krisflyer, then credit there, and redeem.
Otherwise Aeroplan is a good place.
The 50000 bonus via aeroplan no longer on the HSBC website so offer seems to have been pulled

So you need to go through the Air Canada website rather than HSBC, Did not realise this thanks.It’s still there are far as I can see? Showing an offer expiry date of 3 June 2024.
But there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the HSBC page once you click through from AC. Not sure if there was before?It’s still there are far as I can see? Showing an offer expiry date of 3 June 2024.
I didn’t realise it was posted to my Aeroplane account - posted on 1st MayI'm still awaitng for the bonus 50K points to be posted after selecting Aeroplan, but was wondering if I wanted to ask, should I be asking HSBC or Star Alliance?
It's been over 6 weeks now that I've hit the spend threshold, so just wanted to see who to chase/follow up with
Would be great if someone could confirm this.I don't think it was ever on the HSBC site
This is what I am worried about too.But there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the HSBC page once you click through from AC. Not sure if there was before?
Given they (HSBC) are the ones actually providing the financial product, I am a bit concerned, as was planning on applying in the next week or so.
I have now had a look on wayback machine for about 6 months and can't see that it was mentioned previously, so fingers crossed it is still ok!Would be great if someone could confirm this.
Yoy should Check Aeroplan website for the offer then click on the link but I don't think I clicked there. I just applied on HSBC website then once approved I got email from Star Alliance for ID to log in, once Logged in I selected Aeroplan as my preferred airlines. After qualified spending done received another email notified about qualifying for Aeroplan Gold after selecting period - about 3 or 4 weeks. Then after 6 to 8 weeks after I got 50K.Would be great if someone could confirm this.

Play around with your name. First Last only or First Middle Last name v.v. Or email Star Alliance. I found they pretty quick in respondingGot approved on Momday and got an email form Star Alliance Rewards with an ID, asking me to register. It wont progress (says my ID doesn't exist) and the webform contact us doesn't work (as you need to select a sub category but none exists).
Has anyone else had this / solved it?
